<u>Answer;</u>

Reflective surface

<u>Explanation;</u>

  • Reflection is one of the property of a wave that occurs when a wave hits a boundary which is a reflective surface. The wave bounces off upon hitting the reflective boundary, such that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.
  • Therefore, ice is an example of a reflective surface as light waves bounces off and radiate back when they hit the surface of the ice.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m

Which statement is true for particles of the medium of an earth quake p wave
katen-ka-za [31]
I am pretty sure that the only statement which  is true for particles of the medium of an earthquake P-wave is being shown in the option : b)vibrate parallel to the wave, forming compressions and rarefactions. As you know,  it can be formed in two ways : from alternating compressions and rarefactions or primary wave. I bet you will agree with me.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

W=3456 N

Explanation:

Force 1 F_1=3456

Force 2 F_2=2333N

Acceleration at stage 2 a_2=0.39

Generally the weight of the Craft W is given as

W= upward force(thrust)

Therefore

W=3456 N
